Antisocial personality disorder is defined by a
pervasive and persistent disregard for morals, social norms, and the rights and feelings of others.
[3] Individuals with this personality disorder will typically have no compunction in exploiting others in harmful ways for their own gain or pleasure and frequently
manipulate and deceive other people, achieving this through wit and a façade of
superficial charm or through intimidation and violence.
[11] They may display
arrogance, think lowly and negatively of others, and lack
remorse for their harmful actions and have a callous attitude to those they have harmed.
[3][4] Irresponsibility is a core characteristic of this disorder: they can have significant difficulties in maintaining stable employment as well as fulfilling their social and financial obligations, and
people with this disorder often lead exploitative, unlawful, or parasitic lifestyles.
